[edit] Physical appearance

Scorpius has inherited his father Draco's physical traits, meaning that he has blond hair, grey eyes, and a pale, pointed face. He is noted for looking almost the same as his father did at age eleven.

[edit] Personality and traits

Scorpius is apparently a better person than his father. Draco, for his part, was sobered by his experiences during the Second Wizarding War.^[3]

[edit] Behind the scenes

• In an online chat shortly after the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, J.K. Rowling commented that Scorpius has a lot going against him, including his name. ^[3]
• The word scorpius is Latin for "scorpion." Like his father, Scorpius was named after a constellation, carrying on the tradition of giving astronomical names started by the family of his paternal grandmother. In Western astrology, it is the sign of Scorpio and is linked in Greek mythology to Hades, god of the underworld, as well as the scorpion that killed the hunter Orion.
• In Greek mythology, Hyperion was one of the twelve Titans who was eventually overthrown by the Olympians. It is also the name of a moon of Saturn and of an unfinished poem by John Keats.
